Strawberry cottage cheese pie in a multicooker
Description
Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. Baking in a multicooker is just as easy as in an oven, but if you don't have this wonderful appliance, you can use a conventional oven. The pie base is shortcrust pastry, which I make from scratch. If you don't have strawberries, use currants, raspberries, or even frozen berries.
